Much Ado About You

When you're the oldest daughter, you don't get to have any fun! Witty, orphaned Tess Essex faces her duty: marry well and marry quickly, so she can arrange matches for her three sisters -- beautiful Annabel, romantic Imogen and practical Josie. After all, right now they're under the rather awkward guardianship of the perpetually tipsy Duke of Holbrook. But just when she begins to think that all might end well, one of her sisters bolts with a horse-mad young lord, and her own fiancE just plain runs away. Which leaves Tess contemplating marriage to the sort of man she wishes to avoid -- one of London's most infamous rakes. Lucius Felton is a rogue whose own mother considers him irredeemable! He's delicious, Annabel points out. And he's rich, Josie notes. But although Tess finally consents to marry him, it may be for the worst reason of all. Absurd as she knows it to be, she may have fallen utterly in love ...

"Finding herself under the unlikely guardianship of the kind but shambolic Duke of Holbrook, Tess Essex is faced with her duty: marry well and marry quickly. She can then arrange matches for her younger sisters Annabel, Imogen and Josephine. All is going well until Tess's fiance gets cold feet, and one of her sisters elopes with a reckless young lord - and perhaps Tess is not as sensible and proper as she thought she ways? Lucius Felton is a rogue, but he is both delicious and wealthy. Can she really be contemplating marriage to one of London's most infamous rakes?"

"In Regency England, four orphaned sisters become wards of an earl, but when Tess, the eldest sister, tries to arrange matches for her sisters, events take a turn which make it almost impossible to avoid a scandal."

"Tess Essex, the oldest of a quartet of orphaned young women, understands it is her task to marry quickly and well in order to help her sisters make advantageous matches, but things do not go just as planned, and she soon finds herself faced with the prospect of marriage to an infamous--but very attractive--rake."@en
